dangers of drawing conclusions from evidence that is so in-

David Pilbeam, whom Leakey quotes above, is also an
evolutionist paleontologist. As he admits:

My reservations concern not so much this book [Richard
Leakey's Origins] but the whole subject and methodology of pale-

oanthropology. . . . Perhaps generations of students of human evolution, A fossilized starfish
